About Little Monsters Market

When we started the business back in 2016 we felt that Little Monsters Market really filled a gap in helping families to buy and sell quality second hand children’s items. The success we have had so far shows that there’s a huge demand for our services. We are now looking to grow our franchise network and want franchisees who are just as passionate about nearly new sales as we are. If you love the idea of running your own successful business and you are passionate about making a difference in your local community, then we would love to hear from you.

Our Markets

Little Monsters Market has designed and developed markets to ensure they provide plenty of variety with the whole family in mind. Not only do we want to provide a nearly new sale but also a sociable environment that everyone can really enjoy.

We achieve this by providing a mixture of preloved, craft and business stalls, a café with a seating area and children’s entertainment where possible. We provide markets that really take into consideration our customer needs.

We only use venues that are of good quality and provide plenty of space for both stallholders and shoppers. Our aim is to remove all the stress factors that can often be associated with buying and selling second hand goods.

By putting our customer needs at the heart of our markets we have been able to achieve top quality markets that have become extremely popular with many loyal customers returning again and again.

Our markets are open to the public for 2 hours on either a Saturday or Sunday, morning or afternoon.

The aim of our markets is to -

help reduce the ever-growing problem of waste reaching our landfills,

to help reduce the increasing cost of providing for our children without having to compromise on quality,

to provide an opportunity for families to discover what is available to them in their local area

to get families out and about

to offer an enjoyable and sociable event

We achieve this by-

Providing preloved stalls for families to sell their no longer needed and outgrown children’s items.

Getting the word out to as many families as possible so they can benefit from the quality items we have for sell at our markets

Providing business stalls at our markets that promote their baby/child and family based services, classes and groups

Making it an event suitable for all the family

Providing a café, seating area and children’s entertainment where possible.

It can be run both as a part time or a full time business, giving you lots of flexibility. This provides the perfect opportunity to work around your family as most of your time will be spent working from home promoting your events.

Repeat Business– As well as stall holders coming back to us multiple times, we also have lots of happy customers who attend the markets to buy much needed children’s clothing and equipment. This includes parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles as well as family friends.

Is Little Monsters Market for You?

We are looking for individuals who enjoy working with the public and enjoy meeting new people.

You do not need any previous experience as we have created a step by step guide which will help you source your venue, select the dates that work the best through the year and show you how to organise and hold a hugely successful market. From the date of you securing your territory we could have you up and running with your first market being held within 8 weeks.

A majority of your time as an event organiser will be spent promoting your upcoming markets. This will mostly be done from the comfort of your home at a time that suits you.

You will need to have access to the internet and a laptop or desktop to enable you to promote your markets effectively.

You need to be resourceful, energetic and passionate about your business. We provide a comprehensive training programme so every franchisee is ready to operate their business with the best chance of success. In order to succeed, you must commit to providing a quality service to your customers (both the stall holders and those visiting the market).

Our business is flexible and offers a great work/life balance for people who are looking to own their own business. The more you put in, the more you get out of running your markets.

Due to the time that is required to run your own business, this business model is suited to part-time workers or to someone who would like to have this as their only work commitment. It would not suit someone who is in full time work.

Promoting Your Franchise

All our franchisees will be responsible for the local marketing of their business within their territory, with initial and ongoing assistance from Head Office. Much of the success of a franchise depends upon local marketing and awareness building, and it is up to the individual as to how much or how little is invested in their area. But don’t worry, we’ll guide you through the ins and outs of local marketing. It’s easy, because we’ve done it many times before.
